VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Jennifer Cain, Director of Human Resources
DATE: August 31, 2026
SUBJECT: MOTION – Approval of merit increase for the Village Clerk and include Village
Clerk position for the proposed COLA increase for FY27
Each year, all Village employees are evaluated on their performance during the previous twelve
months and typically receive either merit increases based upon a final numeric score or step-plan
increases in accordance with collective bargaining agreements. Those performance evaluations
are completed by the respective first line supervisors and in conjunction with the respective
employee’s anniversary (hire) date or date of promotion, whichever is applicable.
Likewise, the Village Clerk is evaluated by all five members of the Village Council. The numeric
scores of those five performance evaluations are then averaged and a final score established.
That score is then converted to a percentage score, which determines the increase in salary.
The evaluation form consists of ten categories with numerical ratings from one (unacceptable) to five
(exceptional). This year, the Clerk received an average score of 84.2%. As shown on the attached
merit calculation form, the Clerk’s merit increase is calculated at 4.6%. The effective date of the
merit increase is retroactive to August 8, 2026.
A Cost-of-Living (COLA) increase of 2.68% is proposed for all non-union general employees and
FPE employees with the proposed budget, effective October 1, 2026. Staff is requesting Council
approval to include the Village Clerk position in the 2.68% COLA adjustment. Approval would
ensure the Village Clerk position receives the same cost-of-living adjustment provided to other
eligible employees and is consistent with the compensation adjustments included in the proposed
FY 2027 budget.
Article IV, section 8(c) of the Village Charter provides that “the compensation of the clerk shall be
fixed by the council.”
The attached merit calculation form has been reviewed by the Human Resources Department.
Recommendation:
Village Administration requests Council consideration and approval of a motion granting
a merit increase of 4.6% to the Village Clerk based on the average score of each
Councilmember’s performance evaluation, include the Village Clerk in the proposed COLA for
October 1, 2026, and directing Village Administration to process same.

PARKS AND RECREATION
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Ashley Shipman, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: August 31, 2026
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Authorization to Execute Florida Power & Light Easements and
Transformer Locations at Anchorage Park and Lakeside Park – Storm Secure
Underground Program (SSUP)
Background:
Florida Power & Light (FPL) has requested utility easements at Lakeside Park and Anchorage Park as
part of its Storm Secure Underground Program (SSUP), an initiative designed to improve electric
system reliability by converting overhead electric distribution lines to underground service. According to
FPL, underground power lines experience fewer service interruptions caused by trees and severe
weather, providing improved resiliency during hurricanes and other storm events. As part of the
conversion, FPL requires permanent easements for the installation, operation, and maintenance of pad-
mounted electrical transformers serving the surrounding neighborhoods. The requested easements are
located on Village-owned property and will not require any financial contribution from the Village.
Project Description:
Lakeside Park
FPL proposes installing a three-phase pad-mounted transformer near the northwest corner of Lakeside
Park adjacent to Lakeside Drive. The proposed easement measures approximately 10 feet by 18 feet
and is positioned to support the underground conversion of the surrounding residential electrical
infrastructure. FPL's plans indicate that no vegetation removal, fencing modifications, or flood mitigation
measures are anticipated at this location.
Anchorage Park
FPL also proposes installing a pad-mounted transformer adjacent to the Activities Building at Anchorage
Park. The proposed easement measures approximately 15 feet by 15 feet and is located along the
eastern edge of the park near Anchorage Drive. Similar to the Lakeside Park installation, FPL has
indicated that no vegetation removal, fencing modifications, or additional flood accommodations are
anticipated.
Operational Impact:
The proposed installations are relatively small and are located in areas that will have minimal impact on
park operations, recreational programming, or public access. Staff has reviewed the proposed locations
and does not anticipate any conflicts with existing park amenities or future planned improvements.
Execution of the easements will allow FPL to proceed with underground electrical infrastructure
improvements that will enhance electric service reliability for the surrounding neighborhoods while
maintaining the functionality of both park properties.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the Village associated with granting the requested utility easements.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Council consideration and approval of the attached Resolution approving
transformer locations and Utility Easements in favor of Florida Power & Light at Anchorage Park
and Lakeside Park as part of the Storm Secure Underground Program (SSUP) and authorizing the
Mayor and Village Clerk to execute the Easements in accordance with Village policies and
procedures.

We’re improving the electric grid in your area
Dear Customer,
FPL understands how much you depend upon reliable energy and we are continuously working to make it better. To that
end, we have identified an opportunity in your area that, once implemented, will enhance the reliability of the electric service
provided to your home or business.
The power line that serves your neighborhood has been identified as a potential candidate to convert from overhead to
underground. The advantages of undergrounding your neighborhood power line include:
Greater resiliency in normal and severe weather conditions, such as lightning and wind;
Reduced power interruptions, especially due to trees and other vegetation issues.
In fact, underground power lines perform 50 percent better than overhead power lines day to day, and 85 percent better
during severe weather conditions, such as hurricanes and tropical storms.
To place your neighborhood power line underground, which will be at no additional cost to you, it may be necessary for FPL
to obtain an easement (access rights) to install and maintain above-ground equipment on your property. An FPL
representative will contact you to answer questions and explain the project in greater detail.
Bowman Consulting is an authorized contractor representing FPL on this project. Please contact Matt
Mongold, Customer Outreach Supervisor (COS), at (561) 424-7090 or mmongold@bowman.com for assistance
or to schedule a meeting at your convenience.
As part of this project, we will also be undergrounding the service to your home. Enclosed you will find the “Junction Box”
agreement. This agreement allows FPL to provide underground service to your meter box and attach a junction box for
service connection. You may return in the pre-paid envelope provided. The document needs to be signed by at least one
owner, on the title, and does NOT require a notary. Please contact the Customer Outreach office, at the number or email
above, with any questions. Authorized FPL agents will be available to discuss or meet, in person.
The existing power poles in your area typically include other utilities such as cable, internet and phone. Because these
facilities do not belong to FPL, the other utility companies will decide whether to keep their lines overhead or place them
underground.
In closing, we know how important safe and reliable electric service is to you in good weather and bad. FPL remains fully
committed to continuously improving the performance of our energy grid. This program is just one example of how FPL will
meet that goal.
Sincerely,
Katie Hudson
Customer Outreach Manager representing FPL

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
POLICE DEPARTMENT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Robert Coliskey, Police Chief
DATE: August 31, 2026
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Approving a revised Fifth Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement
to Establish the Municipal Public Safety Communications Consortium (MPSCC) of
Palm Beach County and repealing Resolution No. 2026-11
Village Staff recommends Village Council approval of the attached Resolution approving a revised Fifth
Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement to Establish the Municipal Public Safety Communications
Consortium (“MPSCC”) of Palm Beach County. Through the adoption of Resolution No. 2026-11 on April
9, 2026, the Village Council approved a prior version of the Fifth Amendment.
The MPSCC was created in December 1999 as a cooperative arrangement to improve radio
communications in Palm Beach County. Through the adoption of Resolution No. 2014-63 on September
25, 2014, the Village Council approved an Interlocal Agreement with MPSCC to provide for interoperable
radio communications. The MPSCC infrastructure was already being utilized by the North County
Dispatch Center, and that Center would be providing public safety communications dispatch services for
the Village. The term of the Village’s Interlocal Agreement was coextensive with the MPSCC’s governing
Interlocal Agreement.
The MPSCC governing Interlocal Agreement is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2026. This Fifth
Amendment extends the term for an additional five-year period through September 30, 2031, with an
automatic extension for an additional five-year period unless a municipality notifies the MPSCC that it
wishes to opt out by September 30, 2030. The only difference between this version of the Fifth
Amendment and the version previously approved by Village Council in April is that this version
allows any municipality to opt out after September 30, 2027 with one-year’s notice, effective on
September 30th of the applicable year.
The attached Resolution and revised Fifth Amendment have been prepared and/or reviewed for legal
sufficiency by the Village Attorney.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Village Council consideration and approval of the attached Resolution
approving a revised Fifth Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement, authorizing the Mayor and
Village Clerk to execute the Fifth Amendment, and repealing Resolution No. 2026-11 approving a
prior version of the Fifth Amendment in accordance with Village policies and procedures.

governing Interlocal Agreement, which originally expired on September 30, 2025, and was
extended through September 30, 2026 through the adoption of Resolution No. 2025-29; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Fifth Amendment to the governing Interlocal Agreement would
continue the term for another five years through September 30, 2031, with one additional five-year
extension, while providing an additional opportunity for a municipality to opt out with one-year’s
notice; and
WHEREAS, this Fifth Amendment replaces a prior version approved by the Village Council
through the adoption of Resolution No. 2026-11, and the Village Council determines that the
adoption of this Resolution is in the best interests of the Village and its residents.

The Applicant is requesting site plan approval to update the property and bring it more into

as well as special exception use approval to allow watercraft sales and displays at the property
located at 631 Northlake Boulevard. The updates on the property will be consistent with what the
improvements already located on the site, and the proposed changes will improve both the visual

The petition is for special exception use approval for the following:

uses.
The petition is a zoning approval for the following:
2. Site plan approval to update the property and bring it more in compliance with the current

The Special Exception Use application includes a proposed site plan and site alterations plan

The purpose of a Special Exception Use request is to provide for a use that is generally compatible
with use characteristics of a zoning district, but which require individual review of their location,
design, intensity, configuration and public facility impact in order to determine the appropriateness
of the use on any particular site. Pursuant to Section 45-16.2(e) of the Village Code of Ordinances,
the Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board must first review the application and forward it to the
Village Council with a recommendation of approval, approval with conditions, or denial. If the
Special Exception request was included with a site plan and appearance application, the
complete application must be forwarded to the Village Council for final decision. The Village
Council shall attach such conditions, limitations, and requirements as are necessary to carry out

meets the requirements set forth in Section 34-16.2(b) of the Village Code. Staff further finds that
the proposed improvements are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Village Code and
compatible with the existing character of the site. Consequently, Staff recommends approval of
the request subject to the following condition:
• The special exception use shall be specific to the currently proposed application for
marine-related uses (watercraft and accessory use sales and displays only).
At its August 4, 2026, hearing, the Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board unanimously approved
staff’s recommendation by a 6-0 vote.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Village Council consideration and approval of the request for Special
Exception Use request to include vehicle sales or repair (limited watercraft and accessory
use sales and displays only) for the property located at 631 Northlake Boulevard, as well

SP-2026-43 Page 3 of 10 631 Northlake Boulevard (SE)
The subject site is located at 631 Northlake Boulevard and is owned by the Lott brothers, George
and John Lott, of Lott Holdings LLC. The property has a future land use designation of
Commercial and a zoning designation of Commercial Northlake Boulevard (C-NB).
For context, the site was originally constructed back in 1962 and was purchased by the Lott
brothers in 2008. From the very beginning, this site has operated as a marine-oriented commercial
waterfront.
In terms of existing features, the site provides waterfront access to the Intracoastal Waterway,
making it a good candidate for marine-oriented commercial use. It currently includes a 4,272 sq.
ft. retail building, 9 regular wet-slips and 5 wet-slips with boat lifts (totaling 14 slips), fuel dock
infrastructure, and ongoing marine retail operations. The applicant wishes for the continued
operation of the existing marina. The existing fueling station will remain operational and continue
providing convenient waterfront fueling access and marine support services to both local and
transient boaters. Currently, the site does not differentiate between parking for customers and
marina slip lessees, and the parking configuration will continue to function in the same general
manner as what currently exists on site. The current drainage system will remain unchanged, and
due to the landscape changes being proposed, runoff found on site will decrease. There will also
be repainting with the same white finish that is currently on the site, to aid in the visual appeal and
upkeep of the site.
The petition is a zoning approval for the following:
1. Site plan approval to update the property and bring it more in compliance with the current
C-NB regulations, including landscaping, parking, and signage improvements.
The petition is for special exception use approval for the following:
2. Special exception use approval to add Vehicle Sales or Repair to the property’s existing
uses.
In the C-NB zoning district, marinas are permitted as a Special Exception Use. The Special
Exception Use application includes a proposed site plan and site alterations plan indicating the
proposed changes to landscaping, signage, and parking. The applicant also included a drainage
statement and statement of use, further explaining the request.
Proposed Features:
Special Exception:
The special exception use being requested is Vehicle Sales or Repair, specifically, allowing boat
and watercraft Sales, pursuant to the Code definition:
Sec 45-2. “Vehicle sales or repair includes any establishment that repairs or displays and
sells new or used motor vehicles including automobiles, motorcycles, golf carts, trucks,
watercraft, recreational vehicles, and trailers”.
SP-2026-43 Page 4 of 10 631 Northlake Boulevard (SE)
This proposed use will be in addition to the existing marina use found on the site, therefore making
it an accessory use to the marina. It will include the addition of boat sales and rentals, the outdoor
display of two boats, and a paddleboard and kayak display area near the front entrance. Of the 14
existing slips, most will continue to be private leases, while around 2-3 spaces will be reserved for
transient boaters and marine sales. Approximately 20% of the existing showroom area within the
marine store will be utilized for indoor boat/paddleboard/kayak displays associated with the
proposed Vehicle Sales (or more specifically watercraft sales) operation.
Landscaping
In terms of landscaping, the applicant is proposing 1,000 additional square feet in landscaped area.
Currently on the site are a group of Sabal palms, along with two (2) single Adonidia palms and
one (1) triple Adonidia palm. The applicant is proposing a terminal island with a shade producing
tree between the western bays of the parking area, along with various native and adaptive shrubs
distributed throughout the site. These landscape improvements will not only create more pervious
area on the site, meaning less drainage issues, but will also provide necessary shading for people
using the site and create visual appeal and a balance between pervious and impervious areas. The
applicant’s full landscape plan is found in Exhibit 4.
Parking
There is already ADA parking located on the parcel; however, the applicant is proposing that the
ADA parking be relocated closer to the front entrance of the marine store to facilitate access. There
is currently no compliant access to the docks, which is why an ADA ramp on the north side of the
site is also being proposed.
In addition to the onsite surface parking, the marina also provides a temporary mooring area
capable of accommodating two (one 40-foot, one 20-foot) to three (20-foot) boats, effectively
supplementing the overall parking and access capacity of the property through additional short-
term waterfront docking opportunities. The surface parking combined with the temporary dock
mooring provides a total of 19-20 spaces. Not only will this change be more functional, but it also
creates order and a designated place for different types of parking spaces needed for the site. The
full parking plan is found in Exhibits 2 and 3.
Signage
The applicant is proposing a new building wall mounted sign, not exceeding 75 square feet. Only
the business name will be included and will be comprised of internally illuminated (LED) channel
letters with flat-cut plexiglass faces that are blue and orange in color, consistent with the business’s
branding. The full signage plan can be found in Exhibits 2 and 5.

I. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION
Listed below are the three (3) standards required for special exception use approval as delineated
in Section 45-16.2 of the Village Code, all which must be met before a special exception can be
granted. A special exception use approval shall be granted only if the applicant demonstrates the
following:
STANDARD 1: Consistency with the land development regulations and comprehensive
plan. The proposed special exception use shall comply with all requirements
and be consistent with the general purpose, goals, objectives and standards
of the village's land development regulations and comprehensive plan.
MET: The special exception being proposed is similar to what is already
found on site, meaning that there will be no conflicting uses on the site. The
application meets all requirements and is consistent with the comprehensive
plan, specifically when it comes to the Northlake Boulevard corridor. The
proposed watercraft sales use promotes waterfront-oriented commercial
services.
STANDARD 2: Effect on adjacent properties.
a. The proposed special exception use will not have an undue adverse
effect upon nearby property or generate excessive traffic or noise.
b. The proposed special exception use is compatible with the existing or
planned character of the neighborhood or area in which it would be
located and is compatible with existing and future development.
SP-2026-43 Page 6 of 10 631 Northlake Boulevard (SE)
c. All reasonable steps have been taken to minimize any adverse effect of
the proposed special exception use on the immediate vicinity through
building design, site design, landscaping and screening.
d. The proposed special exception use will be constructed, arranged and
operated so as not to interfere with the development and use of
neighboring properties, in accordance with applicable zoning district
regulations.
MET: The proposed use will not have a negative effect on the adjacent
properties because the changes to the site will improve compliance with
Code. These changes will help alleviate existing issues that the site is
currently facing and will improve the overall functionality and aesthetics of
the site.
STANDARD 3: Public welfare. The proposed special exception use will protect the village's
tax base, will not create a financial burden on the village, and will be in the
interests of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general
welfare.
MET: The proposed changes will enhance the overall user experience. The
special exception use approval will allow a plethora of marine-uses and
activities to be all on one site. The landscape improvements will provide
necessary shading for customers to enjoy while at the site and serve as
drainage mitigation. Additionally, the parking changes will be more
appropriate for those who utilize ADA parking and provide a sense of order
within the site.
Sec. 45-16.2. - Special exception uses.
(a) General provisions.
(1) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to provide for review of uses that are generally
compatible with use characteristics of a zoning district, but which require individual
review of their location, design, intensity, configuration and public facility impact in
order to determine the appropriateness of the use on any particular site in the zoning
district and their compatibility with adjacent uses. Special exception uses may require
the imposition of additional conditions to make uses compatible within their specific
contexts.
(2) Authority. The village council may, in accordance with the procedures, standards and
limitations of this section, grant special exception use approvals for those uses
enumerated as special exception uses in any zoning district.
(3) Persons entitled to initiate applications. An application for special exception approval
may be submitted by the owner of the property or any other person having a contractual
interest in the lot or parcel of land proposed for a special exception use.
SP-2026-43 Page 7 of 10 631 Northlake Boulevard (SE)
(b) Standards for review of special exception use approvals. A special exception use approval
shall be granted only if the applicant demonstrates the following:
(1) Consistency with the land development regulations and comprehensive plan. The
proposed special exception use shall comply with all requirements and be consistent
with the general purpose, goals, objectives and standards of the village's land
development regulations and comprehensive plan.
(2) Effect on adjacent properties.
a. The proposed special exception use will not have an undue adverse effect upon
nearby property or generate excessive traffic or noise.
b. The proposed special exception use is compatible with the existing or planned
character of the neighborhood or area in which it would be located and is
compatible with existing and future development.
c. All reasonable steps have been taken to minimize any adverse effect of the
proposed special exception use on the immediate vicinity through building design,
site design, landscaping and screening.
d. The proposed special exception use will be constructed, arranged and operated so
as not to interfere with the development and use of neighboring properties, in
accordance with applicable zoning district regulations.
(3) Public welfare. The proposed special exception use will protect the village's tax base,
will not create a financial burden on the village, and will be in the interests of the
public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare.
(c) Conditions on special exception approvals. The village council shall attach such
conditions, limitations and requirements to a special exception use approval as are
necessary to carry out the spirit and purposes of the village's land development regulations
and comprehensive development plan and to prevent or minimize adverse effects upon
other properties in the neighborhood or area. These conditions may include, but are not
limited to, limitations on size, intensity of use, bulk and location, landscaping, lighting,
provision of adequate ingress and egress, and hours of operation. Such conditions shall
be set forth expressly in the written order, resolution or ordinance granting the special
exception approval. A violation of any condition shall be considered a violation of this
Code and is subject to code enforcement proceedings in accordance with Chapter 2 or
any other method of enforcement authorized by law.
(d) Special exception uses within planned unit developments. When the proposed special
exception use will be located within a planned unit development, the special exception
use review shall be conducted concurrently with the planned unit development approval
process and any conditions relating to the proposed special exception use shall be set forth
in the ordinance approving the planned unit development.
(e) Procedure.
(1) The special exception use shall be subject to preliminary review by the community
development department. Once the planning and economic development director
certifies that the application is complete, the director shall forward it to the planning,
zoning and adjustment board for a public hearing.
SP-2026-43 Page 8 of 10 631 Northlake Boulevard (SE)
(2) The planning, zoning and adjustment board shall review the application and forward
a recommendation of approval, approval with conditions or denial to the village
council. If the special exception request was included with a site plan and appearance
application, the planning, zoning and adjustment board shall forward the complete
application to the village council for final decision.
(3) Upon receipt of a recommendation of the planning, zoning and adjustment board, the
village council shall conduct a public hearing and determine whether the proposed
special exception use meets the requirements of this section. The village council shall
approve, approve with conditions or deny the application at the close of the public
hearing. The approval of a special exception use, with or without conditions, shall be
in the form of a written order, resolution or ordinance.
(4) Upon denial of an application for special exception use approval in whole or in part, a
period of one (1) year must elapse prior to the filing of a substantially similar
application affecting the same property.
(f) Public notice. Public notice of all hearings shall be provided as required by Section 21-3.
VI. Conclusion & Finding of Fact
The Planning, Zoning, and Adjustment Board may make a recommendation to the Village Council
to attach such conditions, limitations and requirements to a special exception use approval as are
necessary to carry out the spirit and purpose of the Village's land development regulations and
comprehensive development plan and to prevent or minimize adverse effects upon other properties
in the neighborhood or area. These conditions may include, but are not limited to, limitations on
size, intensity of use, bulk and location, landscaping, lighting, provision of adequate ingress and
egress, and hours of operation. Such conditions shall be set forth expressly in the written order,
resolution or ordinance granting special exception approval. A violation of any conditions shall be
considered a violation of this Code and is subject to code enforcement proceedings in accordance
with Chapter 2 or any method of enforcement authorized by law.
Staff recommends that the Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board forward a recommendation of
approval to the Village Council for the requested special exception use of Vehicle Sales or Repair
and associated site plan modifications for the property located at 631 Northlake Boulevard. Staff
finds the request consistent with the applicable provisions of the Village Code and compatible with
the existing character of the site, subject to the Board's determination that the Special Exception
approval criteria have been satisfied. Should the Board decide to approve this request, staff has
provided the following condition:
• The special exception use shall be specific to the currently proposed application for marine-
related use (watercraft and accessory use sales and displays).

North Palm Beach, FL
Site Plan Amendment & Special Exception Use Review
Statement of Use
April 30, 2026
Revised - July 6, 2026
REQUEST/LOCATION
Gentile & Co., on behalf of the Owner and Applicant, respectfully requests; 1) site plan approval
to update the property and bring it more in compliance, with a 2) Special Exception Use approval
to add Vehicle Sales or Repair to the property’s existing use. The subject property is an existing
14-slip marina with an accessory use marine store, making it compatible with the Applicant’s
request and consistent with the Working Waterfront zoning within the Village of North Palm Beach.
The Special Exception of “vehicle sales or repair” and displays are consistent with the current
Marina use as the SE will be for the rental, sale, and display of boats and watercraft. It has a
future land use designation of Commercial and a zoning designation of Northlake Blvd. Commercial
District, within the Northlake Bl. Overlay Zone.
PROJECT LOCATION
The subject property is located at 631 Northlake Blvd, North Palm Beach, and sits along the north
side of Northlake Blvd., approximately 175 feet east of Lake Cir. The north and east sides of the
property are waters named North Lake which is an offshoot of the Earman River.
SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST

NOTE: Above information in red falls within the Town of Lake Park and is outside the Village’s

SITE HISTORY
The parcel has a long-established history as a marine-oriented commercial waterfront property
within the Village. Situated along the southern shoreline of the Earman River / Lake Worth Creek
waterway system, the parcel provides direct navigational access eastward to the Intracoastal
Waterway (Lake Worth Lagoon) and, from there, to the Palm Beach Inlet and Atlantic Ocean. This
direct relationship to navigable waters has historically defined the site’s function and use and
continues to do so today. Located within Lots 15 and 16, Block 37, Village of North Palm Beach
Plat No. 3, the property has served as a strategically located waterfront parcel along the Northlake
Boulevard corridor, supporting marine access and water-dependent commercial activity.
Since its original development in 1962, the property has remained in continuous marine
commercial use as a working waterfront marina with accessory marine retail services under one
ownership family, the Lotts. Over time, the site has evolved to include the 4,272 sq ft accessory
structure, 9 regular wet-slips + 5 wet-slips with boat lifts (totaling 14 slips), fuel dock
infrastructure, and ongoing marine retail operations, including the sale and servicing of fishing
Nautical Ventures 631 Northlake Blvd

Page 3 of 8
O:\Nautical Ventures 631 Northlake\Applications\Special Exception Use 2026\Application Materials\Statement of Use 06.XX.26.docx
equipment, bait, tackle, rods, reels, and related marine supplies. The longstanding operation
remains fully consistent with the historic waterfront commercial character of Northlake Boulevard
and the Village’s broader vision for continued waterfront access and marine-oriented activity along
the Earman River corridor.
In 2015, the original owner and current seller, made landscape and site plan improvements to the
property, including lessening the non-compliant parking and landscape.
PROJECT DETAILS
The proposed project includes the continued operation of the existing Marina with the addition of
boat sales and rentals, the outdoor display of two boats, and a paddleboard and kayak display
area near the front entrance. These enhancements are fully compatible with the established
marine commercial character of the property and represent a natural extension of the site’s historic
water-dependent use. Approximately 20% of the existing showroom area within the marine store
will be utilized for indoor boat/paddleboard/kayak displays associated with the proposed Vehicle
Sales operation. The store will continue to provide convenience-oriented goods and marina support
services, including the sale of ice, snacks, beverages, bait, tackle, related fishing supplies, and the
customization of fishing rods.
Marina Operations
Of the 14 existing slips, most will remain as private leases, while 4 slips on the southeast end of
the marina will be dedicated to boat rental activities. The proposed operation also introduces the
rental of kayaks and paddleboards, providing expanded opportunities for waterfront recreation
and public enjoyment of the surrounding waterways, with rental boats launched directly from the
onsite dock facilities. In addition to the 14 existing boat slips, the marina contains a temporary
mooring area capable of accommodating up to three 20-foot boats for short-term docking
associated with fueling and marina supply purchases. The existing fueling station will remain
operational and continue providing convenient waterfront fueling access and marine support
services to both local and transient boaters. The site does not contain designated parking spaces
assigned specifically to customers or marina slip lessees, and the parking configuration will
continue to function in the same general manner as the existing operation.
Drainage
Due to slopes and current configurations of the hardscape, stormwater flows directly into the body
of water surrounding the north and east sides of the property without any water quality control.
This request removes some paving, makes the parking lot more compliant and creates pervious
green area to slow stormwater.
Landscape
The Applicant proposes an increase of approximately 1,000 square feet in the property’s overall
landscaped area. This will greatly enhance the site’s visual character and frontage along Northlake
Boulevard, while simultaneously increasing pervious area, promoting onsite infiltration, and
reducing runoff into the adjacent waterbody. The current landscape consists of a group of Sabal
palms along with two (2) single Adonidia palms and one (1) triple Adonidia palm. A terminal island
between the western bays of parking is proposed which makes the parking lot more compliant. In
this island is a shade producing tree. Various native and adaptive shrubs are also proposed. The
landscape area has more than doubled from the current situation.

July 6, 2026
Page 4 of 8
O:\Nautical Ventures 631 Northlake\Applications\Special Exception Use 2026\Application Materials\Statement of Use 06.XX.26.docx
ADA Compliance
The plan also includes several ADA accessibility improvements. The required ADA parking space
will be relocated closer to the front entrance of the marine store to enhance accessibility and
convenience. There is no compliant access to the docks as it currently exists. This plan improves
the ramp on the north side. While fully ADA compliant, the addition of this ramp improves the
functionality of the docks and servicing/stocking of the boats which are moored.
Signage
The proposed new signage will be a building wall mounted sign meeting the criteria of Sec. 7-6
Business signs, Wall Signs Sec. 7-6.C.3. The sign will be a permitted sign with just the name of
the business on it in raised lettering (not painted on wall). The proposed sign is comprised of
internally illuminated (LED) channel letters with flat-cut plexiglass faces that are blue and orange
in color, consistent with the branding and marine-oriented character of the business. The installed
sign will either utilize a reused company sign or a newly manufactured sign designed to match the
sign style depicted in the image below. (Note: only the portion of the building sign enclosed within
the red dashed boundary shown in the referenced image is included as part of this application and
represents the limits of the proposed signage scope; the illuminated logo and non-illuminated
black letters shown are not included in the proposed sign.)
The total signage will not exceed 75 square feet based upon the following calculation from Table
7-6 Permitted Business Signs:
Wall Mounted Signs (front wall): Building length=50 feet x 1.5 = 75 square feet.
Collectively, these proposed improvements enhance the site’s marine commercial use, strengthen
its visual and environmental performance, improve stormwater management, and bring key access
features into compliance with modern standards, while preserving the property’s historic working
waterfront character.
PARKING
As the property has more than one use, shared parking is being used to define the parking needs.
The existing site currently contains 17 official parking spaces; however, the area to the west of
the fuel storage is presently utilized for three unofficial parking spaces. The proposed plan will
preserve the existing parking capacity of 17 spaces and maintain wider drive aisles, providing
ample room for drivers to safely park and maneuver throughout the site. The ADA parking space
has been moved to the south side for access to the primary entry door as required by ADA
Nautical Ventures 631 Northlake Blvd
July 6, 2026
Page 5 of 8
O:\Nautical Ventures 631 Northlake\Applications\Special Exception Use 2026\Application Materials\Statement of Use 06.XX.26.docx
standards. The back up space is not compliant with code and still remains non-conforming. There
is a lack of two feet, but in reality, there is room. In addition to the onsite surface parking, the
marina also provides a temporary mooring area capable of accommodating two (one 40-foot, one
20-foot) to three (20-foot) boats, effectively supplementing the overall parking and access
capacity of the property through additional short-term waterfront docking opportunities. The
surface parking combined with the temporary dock mooring provide a total of 19-20 spaces.
ARCHITECTURE
The existing building will remain and undergo cosmetic improvements which include repainting
the white finish and adding signage.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE PLAN
The proposed project is consistent with the Village’s long-term planning vision for the Northlake
Boulevard corridor. The Comprehensive Plan encourages redevelopment that enhances the
character and visual quality of commercial areas, and the proposed improvements support that
vision through upgraded landscaping, improved site circulation, and continued waterfront-oriented
services. The Plan also promotes sustainable site design and environmental stewardship, which is
reflected in the project’s increased pervious area, improved stormwater management, and reduced
runoff into adjacent surface waters. In addition, the proposed ADA accessibility upgrades further
advance the Village’s goals for safe, functional, and accessible commercial properties. Collectively,
the proposed improvements align with the Village’s planning framework by preserving the site’s
historic marine commercial use while enhancing its overall appearance, functionality, and
environmental performance. The Applicant addresses the following Objectives and Policies listed
in the Town’s Comprehensive Plan:
OBJECTIVE 1.5: Special land use policies shall be developed by North Palm Beach
when necessary to address site-specific issues related to implementing the Future
Land Use Goal. Refer to the Future Land Use Map for parcel locations which are
